"Weary to the Tips of My Fingers."

(BT OUR SPXCIAti RIPORTIR.) Our reporter having safely made his w»r past twoferocious-louking watchdogs to call at the'residence of Mr, John Jamea .Boyt, , Collins-street, Marrickville, Mr. Boy t opened .the, door and our reporter explained his business, " Walk in, please, and I will introduce you to my wife," said Mr. Boyt, " and she will tell you all about her illness herself." In the ainingroom our reporter found Mrs. Boyt, who required no pressing to unfold the history of her complaint ana its cure. . "Indeed;" replied that lady, "it »lwf» gives me pleasuru to , tell people about tin remedy that pulled me through A Very Beriout Time." " What was the matter, Mrs. Boyt." ''I overworked myself. "In addition'to my household duties I had undertaken the care of a sick friend. I attended to her by day and by night, till at last I got into that state that I could hardly crawl over to her house. At last I broke down. A continual weary feeling was upon me, even to The Tips of my Fingers. It required an. effort even to raise my hand. Wlfen in health I have always a good appetite, but then I didn't care for anything. I dreaded the .flight coming., Lying in bed .was a torture to me, for. 1 could getno rest, but tossed about, wondering what ailed me, and trying to force myself into slumber. But the more I tried to' go to Bleep the more wakeful'T became. In the morning I felt , I couldn't get up, and when I at length managed to rcach the sittingroom T felt too languid and tired to do more than nit back in my chair. ,1 became, very, despondent as time ' went on, I got so ill. I can't describe the terrible feelings that used'to afflict' rhe. 'I felt I would like to get away somewhere all by myself,' where I could see arid hear no.one, an<i there bo';B,till;' , t - 1 , j i I Was So Irritable and'nervous that if anyone spoke to/m# suddenly I should tremble and shake oil over." . . ' " I presume this illness must nave pulled you down ii lot!" -' ' > "Of course it, did., I was, not like, I. urn now, but was not nearly so ill looking as might have-been expected'from one who suffered as I 'did; bufc* : then my complaint was seated chiefly in my nerves, and'l am not one to show much change in my appearance when lam sick. lam perfectly satisfied, however, that if my nerve affection hadn't been properly treated in time it would have ended very seriously for me. As it was I got into an awfully low state. My nervous System Was All Unstrung." " But you recovered from all this rather quickly, I am told,'queried the reporter ?" " More than ' rather '-txtremdy quickly, replied Mrs. Boyt most emphatically. My husband was very much concerned for me, for nothing—and I tried many medicinesscorned to have the'least beneficial effect. In the end lie got me some Clemfents Ton'c. I thought it would be like all the other stuff I liad tried—about as useful as a glass of water; but to humour him, or rather because I wasn't strong enough to" resist his pressing, I took a dose." • f "Yon hardly'expected to receive any benefit-from one dose?"

" Now that's just where you make a mislake, replied Mrs. Boyt. Strange as it may seem to you (and I must admit that a good many people hardly believe me when I tell Uiem of .it) that the first dose had

THE CASE OF Mrs. J. BOYT. !

A Most Marked Effect upon my nervous system. I felt somehow as though I liad hadflomething ,like. .a good strong dose of,brandy, and yet ; not.the same, feeling as the stiniula tion caused by spirits, for there was ho reaction. I felt as though my riferves had beeti stimulated anduivigorated. When I took the next dose l ,wat overjoyed to find that Iwu not uistoken. ; Clements Tonic was at Work) | for I improfed with erery do«, and I thanked my husband mo»t- fervently fot having at lut found m* a remedy that was able to itrengthen my '' ' :" j Weak and Debilitated System.; I never missed a dau afterward!, and improved- 4very day—was able to eat with a relish once more, and conld sleep as soundly as a t0p.,... Under , the influence of Tonic I soon threw off the cloud of melanj eholy which had been afflicting me. I, grew lively, and was ablei oric# more to go about my housework cheerfully, and j with-a real pleasure." ' J '■ . ' " And yoo one that pleasant change—!'! "To Clements Tonic alone. : Without it I don't, knowi where my : complaint would have ended, or what would, have happened to me.' :,You ask my husband and he will speak more strongly 1 than'l, have done oij .thatsubject." . l ':i v I , Our reporter then turned to. Mr. Boyt, who Vj-as present durinj; the whole interview] ' " YVhat iß'your opinion; Mr;'Boyt, as to your wife's recover}'!" .i \•-t ■ :.'. •' r . "I give the.wliolecredit„of it to Clements .Tonic,.he replied,.and I .can endorse every| word of what my'wiftj has told'you. ■ You could actually see 'that remedy doing her good {indibringing,her along towards health; , I know the > \. ~ Virtues pf Clements: Tonic | myself, for many a timn when J hive felt a a Lit down or out of ani'tSj or whenrl couldn't sleep or I. have taken.two or three : doses of that remedy."'. ; ';■ 1: '■ '■■ i . l'.With the same rejulii as in Mrs. Boyk's easeT . ;■:" " "Yes, it'always put' me right quickly, and I never knew Clements Tonic to fail.' iDo you know that if I want a pick-me-up or stimulant I would rather take a dose of Clements Tonic than a Whisky.
